About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I’m Saana. At Saana Counselling, I recognise that we all go through difficult times and experience emotional distress. Life’s challenges can come from trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties and can leave us feeling stuck. If you're struggling, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to explore what may be affecting your life. My goal is to provide you with the support you need to understand your emotions and gain clarity about your next steps.
As a qualified child counsellor and integrative therapist, I use various therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your needs. These include (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic Therapy. This allows us to work in a way that best supports your emotional journey. I also work as a school counsellor, helping young people navigate their emotions and challenges. My experience includes supporting individuals with trauma, anxiety, depression, and domestic violence, among other issues. I work with both adults and children, empowering them to explore their feelings, break through obstacles, and create meaningful change.
Over the years, I’ve come to firmly believe that with the right support, change is possible, even in the most difficult circumstances. I’ve seen time and again how individuals can transform their lives by gaining insight into their behaviours, uncovering unresolved emotional wounds, and finding healthier ways to cope. Whatever issue you bring, I’m here to work with you towards achieving your goals.
I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and therapy should reflect that. I offer face-to-face sessions, online therapy, and telephone therapy, allowing for flexibility depending on what’s most convenient.
I believe that the process of working together should be collaborative. I will be with you every step of the way, helping you identify goals and navigate the complexities of your thoughts and emotions.
Practice description
My practice is based at The Meridian Centre in Birmingham. My office is up one flight of stairs. Accessible rooms are available for individuals with mobility issues, subject to availability.
I provide a free introductory 10–15-minute phone consultation so you can have the opportunity to ask any questions and decide whether we could work together. This gives us both a feel of how we might be able to work alongside one another in supporting you to reach your therapeutic goals.
If you decide to proceed, we can schedule an assessment session to discuss your goals and expectations for counselling, as well as how I might assist you.
It takes courage to take the first step towards getting help, and I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to accompany you on your journey.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or queries and I will do my best to respond to you promptly.
I look forward to hearing from you
